Almost 3 million people in Italy have diabetes, a metabolic disease in which the body cannot actually produce or use glucose for energy. The high concentration of glucose corresponds to an insulin deficiency which must be integrated into the body.
Speaking of how to deal with a disease such as diabetes through technology, let's see here which Android and iOS smartphone applications can be useful to diabetes sufferers .
These are tools to help track blood glucose levels, to remember to take a drug and with nutritional information about certain foods.
Among the best apps to deal with diabetes are:
1) mySugr Companion is an app for both Android and iOS that acts as a diary to control diabetes, in a playful and fun way.
Unlike the more serious apps, points are made to achieve certain goals and overcome personal challenges.
With this app you can track your blood sugar, insulin to take, food and more.
2) Glucose Buddy is an app to save glucose, carbohydrate, insulin dosages and physical activity numbers.
You can view this data at any time by creating an online account.
The application is free for Android and iOS, but only in English.
3) OnTrack Diabetes is an Android-only app that allows you to track your blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c, food, weight and much more.
The app also works to get reminders about using medications.
4) Diabetes - Glucose Diary for Android and Diabetes Assistant for iPhone and iPad are similar applications for keeping track of blood glucose levels, making measurements and viewing graphs.
5) Calorie counter by FitnessPal for Android and for iOS is one of the best apps for diet, to track weight, set weight goals and measure the calories of food so as not to risk going overweight, definitely not recommended for those who have type 2 diabetes.
